Book Description
Excerpt from Everyday Bookkeeping Everyday bookkeeping presents an easy method of keeping accounts. It was prepared for the instruction of those who may desire to keep some record but who do not find the methods used in commercial bookkeeping suited to their needs. Each kind of account is treated separately, and the treatment is made elementary enough for a child to understand as soon as the matter treated comes within his or her experience. Not only is each topic treated sepa rately, but each treatment is, in the main, independent of the others. This makes it possible to take up the chapters in any order, and those who wish instruction on a particular point can get that without having to study everything up to that point. The book may thus serve as a handbook on the topics treated. There are taken up also those forms of commercial paper, such as notes, checks, and receipts, for which nearly every one has some use. The business statement is also treated. Following this there are a few exercises in which an account is to be written with each item. This gives a review and it also illustrates the principle of double entry bookkeeping. There are also given suggested forms of books with special columns. These are often convenient for accounts of limited range. Special column books are also treated, as they are extensively used in some lines of business.

Forgotten Books uses state-of-the-art technology to digitally reconstruct the work, preserving the original format whilst repairing imperfections present in the aged copy.

Book Description
Excerpt from Bookkeeping and Accounting Everyday business consists, in the, main, of buying and selling, receiving and disbursing money, issuing and redeeming notes, and of other similar activities. These activities are known as transactions, and it is the function of bookkeeping to record these transactions clearly, concisely and completely. The modern business man seeks short cuts. He has no sympathy with circumlocution in speech or in written records. To him bookkeep ing is simple. It is merely a shorthand transcript of the occurrences in which he has played an important part. He feels that, as he has learned, without prolonged study, to understand the story written in his books - a story which to him is so simple - there is very little warrant for long-drawn-out courses of schooling to train his clerks and assistants. And, in truth, there is much justification for his point of view. Various mechanical bookkeeping devices are on the market. Book keeping by machinery, as one advertiser styles his particular product. Has secured for itself a firm place in the business offices of America. But no one should be led to believe that any machine, at present avail able, has made bookkeeping obsolete. Machinery reduces the routine bookkeeping burden to a minimum, but it makes no attempt to sup plant knowledge of principles and human thought. While mechanical devices have made easier the task of the bookkeeper, they have at the same time served to accentuate the need of a thorough understanding of the science of accounts. The author, a number of years ago, acquired considerable experience in presenting the subject of bookkeeping to immature students as well as to adults. His experience led him irresistibly to the conclusion that the subject of bookkeeping may be so simplified that, while retaining all its necessary comprehensiveness, it may, nevertheless, be imparted to willing minds within a period of time much shorter than that hitherto devoted to it in the school curriculum. He believes that the way to shorten the period of school study has been clearly indicated in the present text. The methods which he has employed are not unique.

Book Description
Excerpt from New Introductive Bookkeeping The book has been changed and improved in minor parts from time to time as occasion seemed to demand, and it is presented to the public with confidence that it will be found thoroughly practical, replete with the best ideas of the day on the subject, and presented in a. Logical and teachable manner. It is the design of this work that the student's mind shall be constantly directed to the matter in hand - that of learning practical bookkeeping - and not become confused by theories that can be of no possible use to him in pursuing the course of study, nor of the least value to him in after life. It has been the aim to avoid unnecessary theorizing, yet to give a competent reason for every step to be taken, in the belief that the pupil, if he have the ability to master the subject under any circum stances, will be able to secure from the explanations, and illustrations given, a thorough knowledge of the science of accounts.

Book Description
Excerpt from Principles of Double-Entry Bookkeeping What I claim for the book is that it solves the problem of placing double-entry bookkeeping upon a rational basis; and to the best of my knowledge and belief it presents the first and only solution of that problem. It is one of the strangest things in the history of the arts and sciences that this great system of accounting, which, by reason of its compactness and convenience, has come into almost universal use, should have attained so high a degree of development on the practical side, while on the theoretical side it is and always has been in a state of utter confusion. As a rule, the study of a useful art has a certain value as mental discipline; the art of accounting is the one exception to the rule. Aside from the so-called occult sciences, there is nothing which so tends to bewilder the mind and to dull the faculty of reason as the study of double-entry bookkeeping in the form in which it is customary to present it.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Principles of Modern Bookkeeping His book does not profess to deal exhaustively with the subject of Bookkeeping as an art, attention being concentrated on its spirit, rather than on its form. All systematic bookkeeping is based on a principle, but on one which modern abbreviations necessarily tend to obscure. The book is an attempt to set forth this principle, and to show that, however obscured it may be, yet it exists, and must be thoroughly grasped by anyone who would become proficient in the art. Such forms as are employed are used only to illustrate the text - they are not given as dogmatic instances of how any particular book keeping problem should be solved. The principle is explained and insisted upon, and it is left to the reader, or his teacher, to apply this principle in any desired direction. I have received, and gratefully acknowledge, valuable criticisms and help from Mr. T. G. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Excerpt from The American Standard Bookkeeping: High School Edition In the first part of this work the different kinds of accounts are fully explained and exemplified. Thus made familiar with the meaning of entries in the various accounts, the pupil is prepared to do the work of the regular sets understandingly and without floundering. The book is carefully graded, and the sets furnish ample material for practice. Six price lists are furnished throughout, to facilitate inde pendent individual work. Not only is a pupil greatly aided in his study by the observation of actual specimens of bookkeeping records, but he is much influenced by all the details of their form. In this book, therefore, script specimens of all kinds are supplied in profusion, and great care has been exercised in making them models of accuracy and neatness in every particular. The work required of the pupil is designed not only to secure a broad and sound knowledge of the theory and art of bookkeeping, but also to encourage the formation of correct business habits. Nothing taught in the book will have to be unlearned later, when the pupil takes up real business life. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Philosophy of Bookkeeping It is then very easy to see that the difference between these two sides represents what we have left, the remainder or balance in our hands This balance changes with every change made on either side. If we receive more the balance rises, if we spend more it sinks; but it is quite clear that we cannot in hard cash spend more than we have got; so that the Cr. Side can never become larger than the Dr. Side; it can only become equal to it, and then our balance becomes nil, we have nothing left.

Book Description
Excerpt from Lyons' Bookkeeping and Accounting Bookkeeping is the systematic recording of business transactions in books provided for that purpose. Good bookkeeping furnishes the management with any desired financial information concerning the business, on short notice, and results from a good system and a competent bookkeeper. The Terms Debit and Credit, and the fundamental rules governing their use, have been handed down for generations. There has been and can be no change in the principles of bookkeeping but there has been decided improvement in the application of these princi ples to the records of modern business. The Owner or proprietor of the business, no matter what its nature, is sometimes referred to in this textbook as the Merchant; more frequently persons, firms or corpora tions are mentioned by name as the owners or proprietors.
